Also, yes, Canada. Gearing up for struggle against the United States. When there are so many other things to be done.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Look at all those Brexit benefits Starmer needs to be braver. Delivering on his ambition for growth means addressing the consequences of Brexit

The war in #Ukraine created new economic opportunities for #Georgia, the Georgian Dream party and those close to it, while European integration threatened the loss of these opportunities and power. ridl.io/breaking-bad...

President Zelensky calls out the corruption of Putin's puppet Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, reminding that it's not only immoral to support the Russian terrorist state, but that in doing so, it will deprive the Slovakian people of $200 million/year.

Ukraine has mounted hundreds of deep strikes this year, up to 1800km into Russia using drones. This new Pekla cruise missile will fly faster, so less easy to shoot down, and carry a bigger warhead. t.co/ZoY44uz1ES

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump needs to take a "hawkish stance" on Russia if he wants to have any real influence on China, - Kaja Kallas. "If you don't want problems with China, you need to be very strong on Russia. If you're really tough and don't give them what they want, you're more likely to not have any more wars."

After the rapid collapse of the Syrian government on Sunday, China is likely to reflect on its losing bet on Assad’s regime.

While decent-minded people all over the world celebrate the fall of the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad - a regime that used chemical weapons against its own people - the UK's most immoral politician, George Galloway, declares that "the Arab world is dead to me". He is the lowest of the low.

đź’Ą Russia: Ukrainian drone strike on a military base in Grozny, occupied Chechnya.

Anyone arguing that Russian access to the Syrian naval base at Tartus or the airfield at Latakia is not of major strategic benefit to Russia is covering for Putin. They are the two key facilities to project Russian power into the Mediterranean. W/o them, Russia is much weaker.

Trump is seeing immense weakness from Putin as Russia is not able to save Assad’s regime in Syria. Looking weak isn’t going to help Putin in his future negotiations with Trump.

“al-Assad's regime may now be the world's biggest narco state—specialising in the production of an amphetamine known as captagon. The drug trade is run by Syria's elite 4th Division (commanded by al-Assad's brother, Maher)” en.majalla.com/node/323357/...

"Putin is fighting not to conquer Pokrovsk but to destroy Ukraine as a nation. He wants to show Russians that democratic aspirations are hopeless. He wants to prove that a whole host of international laws and norms, including the United Nations Charter and the Geneva conventions, no longer matter"

What about that guarantee in the 90s we made to defend Kyiv?

Waltz, Rubio & DeSantis would be a pretty orthodox Republican triumvirate at the core of US defence/natsec decision making. Doesn’t mean they can constrain Trump. But does change balance of voices & views within the administration. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
